PHP - Not Able To Send Mail. Smtp Server..

Hi PHP Developers,

I am trying to integrate php mail script on my website mysmsmantra but getting error such as : 

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method PEAR_Error::send() in /home/website/public_html/mysmsmantra.com/sendmail2.php:99 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /home/website/public_html/mysmsmantra.com/sendmail2.php on line 99

I am using below code to send mail : 

 <?php
require_once "recaptchalib.php";

// your secret key
$secret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
 
// empty response
$response = null;
 
// check secret key
$reCaptcha = new ReCaptcha($secret);

if ($_POST["g-recaptcha-response"]) {
    $response = $reCaptcha->verifyResponse(
        $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
        $_POST["g-recaptcha-response"]
    );
}

if ($response != null && $response->success) {
require_once "Mail.php";

$pcount=0;
$gcount=0;
 $file="";
    
 $from=$_POST['email'];
    
 $from2='info@yourdomain.com';
 $name=$_REQUEST['name'];

 $from = "".$name." <".$_POST['email'].">";

 $to = "info@yourdomain.com";

 $subject = "Mail from mysmsmantra";

while (list($key,$val)=each($_POST))
        {
        if($key!='submit' && $key!='g-recaptcha-response')

Hi,

Can someone please post very straight forward lines for sending email (no attachment nothing, just a subject and one line text in body) using google smtp (ssl://smtp.gmail.com) without any help of some classes like PHPmailer?

Thanks,

I am trying to integrate php mail script on my website Logon Utility but getting error such as :

Hi,
I am looking for a script which will help me to send prebuilt e-mail to people with attachments.
Something like this >>>

To : [ ________________                                               ]  <--Textbox
Subject : [                         _____________] <-- Subject
Main body :
[___________________]
[___________________]
[___________________]
[___________________]
[___________________]       <-- with html

[ Submit ]

I would like to attach 5 photos in .jpg which are hosted on server.

Now everything is prebuilt except "To : " as peoples email ID will always change. When Submit is clicked, main body Data and attachment will be sent to "To :" person with SMTP and not php mail()

Well I have covered till sending mail with SMTP, using PEAR PHP, but I am not able to send attachments i.e. photos.

I have 2 pages, index.php - 1st page which includes form and button
sendmail.php - Includes all function and main data
Following is the code of sendmail.php
<?php
include("Mail.php");
include('Mail/mime.php');

$to = $_POST["to_textbox"];
$from = $_POST["from_textbox"];
$subject = $_POST["subject_textbox"];
$message = $_POST["content_textbox"];
$headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\n";

/* SMTP server name, port, user/passwd */
$smtpinfo["host"] = "xbc.pqr.com";
$smtpinfo["port"] = "465";
$smtpinfo["auth"] = true;
$smtpinfo["username"] = "user";
$smtpinfo["password"] = "pass";
/////////////////Attachments Section Start //////////////
$file = '/home/xyzuser/public_html/xbx.pqr.com/mail1/img/linux_logo.jpg';
$crlf = "\n";
$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);
$mime->addAttachment($file, 'image/jpeg');
//do not ever try to call these lines in reverse order
$attach= $mime->get();
///////////////Attachment Section ends ////////////////

/* Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method */
$mail_object =& Mail::factory("smtp", $smtpinfo);
/* Ok send mail */
$mail_object->send($to, $headers, $subject, $message, $attach);

?>
Now problem is, it is not sending linux tux logo from "img" folder i.e. mail sent with just text from previous page's textbox. It is not handling with attachment i.e. photo, what to do ?

Thanks to http://pear.php.net/manual/en/packag...me.example.php                     

I need to change the  timestamp of the mail sent through the smtp . right now the mail i receives is 7 hour ahead, when i run the script through browser the time displayed is ok, but when i run it by cron job its always 7 hour ahead.

my script is like this

$from = "From <from@domain.com>";
$to = "Receiver <to@domain.com>";
$subject = "Hi! Cron job timestamp test";
$body = "Hi,\n\n test msg and date is ?".date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$host = 'host';
$username = 'username';
$password = 'password';
$port = "25";
 
 
 $headers = array ('From' => $from,
   'To' => $to,
   'Subject' => $subject);
 $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
   array ('host' => $host,
     'port' => $port,
     'auth' => true,
     'username' => $username,
     'password' => $password));
 
 $mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
 
 if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
   echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
  } else {
   echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
  }

How to add SMTP authentication for PHP mail form which is using POST function...

Hi I really would appreciate if some phpfreak can help me with this please .

I need to my contact page send emails so that when recipient receives it, it comes with the correct domain  (same as the web address) it is coming from rather than the server name.

At the moment they are coming as    abcd20@elessar.nocdirect.com

and would like them come as abcd20@myowndomain.com  (lets say my password for that email is 'zzzaaa' and the domain was  myowndomain.com )

Here is my email contact php script which works fine and hopefully would not have to change too much.

My Contact form is posting to 'send.php' . On top of my contacts page there is a js script for 'jquery.js' and some jQuery stuff for validation..

Have seen many scripts but could not adapt to my existing send.php  script. Can you please help?

------ Content of 'send.php' -----------------------------------
<?php

if(!$_POST) exit;

$email = $_POST['email'];


//$error[] = preg_match('/\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/i', $_POST['email']) ? '' : 'INVALID EMAIL ADDRESS';
if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*" ."@"."([a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)*)+"."\\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$email )){

this issue is not about core php hacking, but I guess this topic fits here best.

I want to make php mail() function send emails using remote smtp server.  I want to force this to all mail() users at my servers. However I use linux php so I cant specify remote smtp in php.ini cause php passes emails directly to sendmail/qmail ... (ps. I dont need script to use with remote smtp by socket connections, i want to make MAIL() do it so my users dont have to change anything at their source).

So what I need is

a) MTA like sendmail that actualy dont send mails to repicients, but it transfers it to remote mta-smtp (ps. I dont want relay, cause I dont want relaing to be visible in source of message)

or

b) some core hack-mod to make php mail() with php.ini work like on windows - not with sendmail/qmail but with socket connection to smtp.

Any ideas.. I guess not

Hello All,

 

I am strugling with embending standard smtp code within the one I have. As I am using PHP ocassionaly I have problem with this.

 

My code is to use mail function to send email through an form with email server installed on host system where the form and server are together.

 

I want this code to adapt to sth that can login to google account and use google external smtp protocol to send the content of the form defined in $headers

 

The problem is I am using self generated captcha that validates if the email is sent and  all fields are filled (currently under tests what should be filled and not filled) and it works fine

 

This is my code that works on a local host server:

 

//Set up the email headers
    
    $headers    = "From: $from_sender <$from_email>\r\n";
    $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $headers   .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
    $headers   .= "Message-ID: <".time().rand(1,1000)."@".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].">". "\r\n";

    //Set up the email content
    
    $email_message = '<html><body>';
    $email_message .= '<table rules="all" style="border-color: #666;" cellpadding="10">';
    $email_message .= "<tr style='background: #eee;'><td><strong>Request</strong></td></tr>";
    $email_message .= "<tr style='background: #fff;'><td></td><td>" . "</td></tr>";
    $email_message .= "<tr style='background: #eee;'><td><strong>Requested By:</strong> </td><td>" . strip_tags($_POST['query']) . "</td></tr>";
    $email_message .= "<tr style='background: #eee;'><td><strong>Assigned To:</strong> </td><td>" . strip_tags($_POST['assigned']) . "</td></tr>";
    $email_message .= "<tr style='background: #eee;'><td><strong>Contact Email:</strong> </td><td>" . strip_tags($_POST['senderemail']) . "</td></tr>";

            if ($mailer)
             {
                //Displays the success message when email message is sent
                  $submission_status = "<div align='left' class='success'>The message has been sent successfully!</div>";
             }
             else
             {
                 //Displays an error message when email sending fails
                  $submission_status = "<div align='left' class='info'>Sorry, your email could not be delievered. <br>Please try again or contact website admin.</div>";
             }
        }
            
    }
}
?>

 

And would like sth like this in place of $mailer , but my way is not working

The code I thought would be embeded into $mailer

$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.googlemail.com';  //gmail SMTP server
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'GMAIL_USERNAME';   //username
$mail->Password = 'GMAIL_PASSWORD';   //password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->Port = 465;                    //SMTP port

Any idea how to adapt it to my code are welcomed and appreciated,

 

Thanks

ok guys,

another issue for me i cannot find an answer for.  according to this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8803994/php-mail-not-working-for-some-reason, mail() doesn't work when smtp is not configured properly.  I checked my server files and I do not have a .ini file.  am I spose to have one by default?  and, according to this question in the godaddy community: https://www.godaddy.com/community/Using-WordPress/PHP-ini-how-to-make-changes-using-cPanel/td-p/119704, configuration of PHP in general should be done in the .user.ini file instead of in php.ini.  the following code, which is what I have now, results in no mail being sent to my address so either my code is wrong or my configs are not set properly I'm guessing:

if( empty($errors))
{
    $to = '$myemail';
    $email_subject = "Demo Request Submitted";
    $email_body = "A demo request was submitted through your website with the following information:" .
    	"Contact Name: " . $contact . " </br>" . 
    	"Company: " . $company . " </br>" .
    	"Email: ". $email . " </br>" . 
    	"Phone: " . $phone . " </br>" . 
    	"Best Time to Contact: " . $best_time_to_contact . " </br>" . 
    	"Message: " . $message;
    $headers = "From: " . $myemail . "\n";
    $headers = "From: $email\r\nReply-To: $email\r\nReturn-Path: $email\r\n";
    mail($to, $email_subject, $email_body, $headers);

    echo "Your demo request has been sent.";
} else {
	echo $errors;
	   }

also, in the stackoverflow article I mentioned above, one of the responders suggests using PHPMailer as a better way to send mail using PHP.  Is that true?  I've always used mail() in the past and I've never been let down in terms of a message *not* being sent.  PHP.net says the same thing as the response from stackoverflow as well.   thanks!

Have actually tried this mailer on localhost and it worked perfectly. Now am trying to use it on online but it's giving this error SMTP-> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110) SMTP -> ERROR: Could not connect to SMTP host. Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP Host.   please how do i fix this?     include "classes/class.phpmailer.php"; // include the class name
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465; // or 587
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "hypropsict@gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "hyprops123";
$mail->SetFrom("hypropsict@gmail.com");
$mail->Subject = "Requisition Processed";
$mail->Body = "<b>Hello $firstname, your requisition has been processed and Approved.. <br/><br/>Come to the Account department to recieve your $text . <br/> Thank You </b>";

$mail->AddAddress($email);
 if(!$mail->Send()){
    echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}

I have a piece of code that works on one domain but not on another.  On the domain running php 5.1 all is ok.  On the domain running php 4.4 I get this error:

SMTP server response: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address

Hosting service keeps telling me there must be an error in the code.  If that's the case why would it work on version 5.1?

Here is the code, I don't know what could be wrong.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

<?php
// set flag to indicate whether mail has been sent

Hi- I am new to php, trying to make a simple form that emails when submitted. It works fine on my own server, but when I try it on my work server I get: Warning: mail() [function.mail]:
SMTP server response: 550 Authentication is required for relay in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\OMC\estimate3.php on line 159
here are the headers:

$headers = "From: info@combatstocks.com\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP4\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"==MIME_BOUNDRY_alt_main_message\"\n\n";

and the mail() function
mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);

let me know if you need more code and ill happily supply it.

thanks!
